Coming back after being long gone.

Post by Raeilma

Good evening to all.

As the title suggests I'm a returning player, that has been playing wow since 1.12 up to 5.1.For all these years, I have been a hunter and a shaman, though I have leveled and tried out at max level all classes except of a Monk.I quit mainly because of the fact that the lore of MoP plainly disgusts me, and I find the gear a bit out of my taste. A major factor was the deletion of the concept ''talent trees'' and it being replaced with merely 18 skills, as impressive as they are, they just don;t cut it when compared to the huge trees back in wotlk.

Anyway, I am here to ask the following question.DK, Mage or Warlock?I'm more in to BGing and casually raiding. I love healing but I have found my soulmate in my Shaman's eyes on that aspect. I want a beautiful class, gear-wise, spell-animation-wise and lore-wise. I'm leaning more towards a Warlock (especially with ''Warlords of Draenor'' on its way, implementing we are going to have a HEWGE amount of daemons) but I always loved 2h frost, and frost mages. Are these two any good in DPSing nowadays? Are Destuction Warlocks any similar to Fire Mages as they used to be?

Thank you and sorry for the long post.

I don't find cloth wearers to be beutiful gear wise, a robe is a robe is a robe is a robe. Leather (Rogues), mail and plate wearers are what looks beutiful. With plate looking the best.

The destruction warlocks have the edge in DPS over other types of locks but destruction has a very simple rotation and like all warlocks are almost unkillable especially in PvP.

Warlocks are DPS, where as Monks can be DPS, Tank or heals (as you know you get two). and DKs can be tanks or DPS. So DKs and monks can fill different roles which is nice to change things up. Tanking is a blast, but the truth is healers and tanks have to work, DPS just gets to wail away.

Warlock.

And "Warlords of Draenor" is just a rumor. It's merely a trademark, one of many that Blizzard has filed recently ahead of Blizzcon.

If you want to do battlegrounds warlocks are so much fun it makes you giggle like a child. However, if you like to take charge and want to RBG, folks are ALWAYS after DK target callers. That along with the fact that dks can tank and dps makes life very easy. And as far as the next expansion goes, no matter what it is we have at least 6 months or so before any release so you can play a toon and if you want to try another you will have time to get the feel of whatever class you choose.

Warlocks > mages

Death knights are kind of annoying to play because of the rune system, but the do get some very cool armor.

Awesome replies (even if you're the last one is like I never wrote about having played all these classes xD) and really helpful as they're really swaying me towards a Warlock :)

Off topic. Concerning the WoD (it has an acronym already!) trademarking, dude, come on :) We all know WoW is coming to an end lore-wise. What else could it be other than Sargeras? :) Let's hope I AM right.

Thank you, either way, for helping me.

Well, the lore advances between 5.1 to 5.4 are significant. Also, there are rumours that the next expansion will feature Alleria and her husband. So, there are more stories to tell.

Those rumours have been around for years; take them with a grain of salt.

Yup. I propagated those rumors further in the other thread when we got to discussing the next expac. But sometime this weekend we'lll find out what the next expac is. And yes, I'm implying they are announcing it; they have to, for the last 2 months we've been killing the final confirmed boss of the current expac.
